A Perfect Portrait

There is really nothing quite like handing a client their album of images and having them just squeal with delight as they turn the pages and see themselves looking…beautiful.  Its not like they weren’t beautiful before, but to see themselves in print, in vivid color, or stunning black and white…they just get speechless.  Best feeling […]
